China expressed serious concern regarding Israel's decision for its military to assume control of Gaza City, as approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, urged Israel to immediately halt this action.
Guo emphasized that Gaza is rightfully part of Palestinian territory and belongs to the Palestinian people. He stated that the most effective way to address the humanitarian crisis and secure the release of those held captive is through an immediate ceasefire.
The spokesperson highlighted that a ceasefire is also the crucial step towards resolving the conflict in Gaza. It is the only path towards ending the fighting and ensuring regional security. China is prepared to collaborate with the international community to end the hostilities in Gaza as soon as possible, alleviate the humanitarian crisis, facilitate the two-State solution, and achieve a complete, just, and lasting resolution to the Palestinian issue.
